re: #344 Mosh

Gitmo is owned and operated by the US government. If you are refering to waterboarding as “torture” you are wrong. It has never been considered torture. We waterboard our Navy SEALS as part of our training. Does that mean we torture our own military?

False. The OIG of the CIA itself concluded that waterboarding is torture, and we have suspended all SERE training involving waterboarding long ago, except for the Navy— because of the psychological damage it caused our own troops even under the controlled conditions of a simulation.
